I've had a few folks ask about the limited edition prints...the store will be up soon, in the meantime if there's an artist or photo on the site you dig and want to cop don't be shy, holla at me via phone or e-mail and we'll work it out...

p.s I've got a huge catalogue of stock images...

This movie is an absolute must see...

What Up Muhfuckas!!

Shot Lupe Fiasco last night, the show was a'ight, he's a young cat and puts on an ok live show...he'll get better as he gets older...Opener Rahzel should NOT of had a full set, he went on waaaay to long...

Had my shoot for *can't tell you the magazine yet, until the images are published* basically it went down like this...Lowrider (bike), Cutie (Nikkie "You're sooo f**k'n funny!!" -- "It's really f**king cold in here!!" Mangus, you are a total sweetheart, thank you for being so hella cool, I had a blast!)

Big ups also to Danny and Scott @ Skyehigh for the use of your store and lowrider, you cats are the shit!

I'm shooting Russell Malone this Friday and Saturday (stoked for that!)

Getting ready to bounce out for dinner and a flick...be safe

peace & blessings
Scott

I got to the Thursday gig late last night, still ended up having an hour of downtime before the shoot, so I got my drink on...ran into a few of my buds I have'nt seen in ages, we chatted about music and chicks...boring

The band is super laid back...really nice guys...I had two minutes *literally* to shoot them before they went on stage...

I didn't have a chance to catch up with Murder By Death, may re-schedule and shoot the band in a month or two when they open up for the Reverend Horton Heat...

Shooting Lupe Fiasco and Rahzel tomorrow night...

Had a killer weekend, went and shot an indie band in Canada on Saturday (had a blast!) - I'll put a link up to the photos when I get them back from the lab.

Pushed my Model, Lowrider shoot off until this coming Saturday.

I'll be shooting Thursday and Murder By Death on Wed and Lupe Fiasco on Friday of this week.

Also adding a sales page to the site for limited edition prints, should have that up in a few days.

I got a nice e-mail from the Guitar player with Flogging Molly - Dennis Casey

I must say he has excellent taste...


Hi Scott,

I wanted to take a second and tell you how great of a photographer I think you are. I got a copy of the photo you took of me and it had your web site on the bottom, so I checked it out. Great stuff.

Do you work out of Rochester?

Well I just wanted to drop you an email and let you know I really like your work.

Maybe we can work together again.

Dennis Casey

I've got a shoot Saturday with a model, and a lowrider...should be a blast....I'll publish some of the prints when I get them back from the lab...

I'm debating on shooting the legendary punk band the Dwarves on Sunday...*shrugs* might go down to the club have a few Guinness and blast off a few rolls of film, we'll see...

Here's a link to Fishbone playing in France last month...they look and sound amazing!

peace

RIP to the Godfather of Soul

I watched the Bad Brains dvd "Live @ CBGB's 1982" last night...I was 11 when they played these shows...the energy of the crowd and band is unreal

I'm working with a clothing company who wants to license a few of my jazz photos for t-shirts. I can't tell you what images and who the company is just yet, but I will have a link up as soon as everything is finalized...

peace
Scott

Gunn has a new album out...it's amazing!

X-Mas shopping is killing me this year, I should have just done it all on-line...

I just got confirmation, I'm shooting Every Time I Die in Buffalo on the 22nd.

New Senses Fail shots added to my 2nd port.

I've started this project in my studio, basically just trying to get more organized. I need an intern who'll work for pizza and beer lol, there are literally thousand of photos and negatives that need to be alphabetized and put away in filing cabinets.

I found this old shot of The Rev, I'll try and publish it later today.

"5 killer albums of 06"

If you dig the album don't be a punk, go buy it! What a novel idea...support the artist "Don't steal it off the internet"

The BellRays - Have a Little Faith

Celtic Frost - Monotheist

24-7 Spyz - Face the Day

TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain

Fishbone - Still Stuck in Your Throat

I picked up my Senses Fail prints from the lab and published one in my Music II portfolio...they came out killer

All the guys in the band were super cool. I only had about 10 minutes to shoot them, but that was plenty

I'll add a few more shots tomorrow

L8tr
Scott

Fucking brilliant!!!!

Hey,

My Celtic Frost interview has been published on-line have a look when you get a minute...

I just got confirmation, I'll be shooting Senses Fail and Bleeding Through on the 28th...then on the 2nd I'll be shooting one of the illest bass players on the planet...

I'll have another portfolio up next week. I'm going through some of my older photos and I've found some cool ones that have never been published. I think you're going to dig em'

This is a lil creepy...WTF!?! ok I know my name is not the most different but c'mon now...another excellent photographer (not as good as me) with the same name. I may have to add my middle initial to my work...

"Scott Lee Stewart Photography" has a nice ring to it..maybe "Scotty Lee Photography" nah that's weak...actually "Scott L Stewart Photography" hmmm nah

Have a Great Holiday!

I published a few Celtic Frost photos in my first portfolio...

For those asking, no you can't use any of my images for your fan sites

DJ Rap has a new album out. I never buy anything from iTunes, but I caved and spent the $10.00...well worth it...She's soooo hot, aesthetics aside the album is very good, and if you're reading this...

I would love to shoot with you!!

I'm getting ready to watch that flick "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", but before I do I thought I would check in and give you an update...

I shot Celtic Frost the other night, the band sounded and looked killer, big ups to there road manager Wolfgang...A road manager who actually gives a shit about the band and not hunting down groupies and drugs...

My plan was to shoot the band with there fresh makeup and gear just before they went on stage, but it was raining out and that put the kabash on candid photos, so I had to settle for live shots. I was going to shoot them on there last North American date tonight, but it's a 2 and 1/2 hour drive from my crib to the venue and I'm so not into that...

I interviewed Martin Ain (Frost bass player and co-founding member) for a 400 word piece I'm writing on the band. I was slightly skeptical going into the interview. More like shitting my pants before the interview. I don't generally interview bands, I'm there to take photos not shove a mic in there face and ask boring and inane questions that they've already heard a thousand times before. I can already see him rolling his eyes and politely answering my silly question about his influences.

I wanted my interview to be different...before the interview I was neurotic, I kept repeating over and over in my head *obsessively* "What the fuck am I going to ask this guy, what are we going to talk about?!?"

What if he gives me one word answers and I don't understand a word he's saying (they are from Switzerland) When I got the call from Wolfgang saying he was ready to talk I almost blew it off. I'm glad I didn't, Martin turned out to be hella cool. I fired my first question at him and v'iola he was talking his ass off. Ain is a very articulate, captivating and intelligent cat with an eclectic view on things...

I'll put a link up to the article when it's been published...

I'll have photos up from the gig later in the week...

I'm also going to be adding another portfolio to the site for all of you asking for more photos...

Be Well
Scott

The best band on the planet has a new album out...

Fishbone has a new studio record out it's called "Still Stuck in your Throat" it's not actually available here in the states yet, so if you're a huge fan of the band like me ya' gotta order it from here and pay a lil extra dough to get it to your doorstep (it's approx $18.98 us currency, that's with shipping and handling ya da ya da)

I'm listening to the album for the 1st time right now. I'm on the 5th track "We Just Lose our Minds", it clocks in at 9:42. The chorus, bridge and horns are amazing, sounds like vintage Fishbone in there prime...

"Behind Closed Doors" is another standout track, infectious horn line, killer hook and Dre does some toast'n at the end of the tune, f**k'n awesome! If radio had a clue they would start playing this tune (they don't and won't)

The 3rd generation lineup of Fishbone is bringing it!!

Let me digest this album some more, then I'll do a proper review on it...

I'm hoping when they get back to the states in Dec they start booking some NY shows.

I watched a brilliant movie last night I know I'm not alone. I highly endorse this movie...also picked up the new ISIS album yesterday, I've got most of there earlier work, and I dig it. I would love to shoot the band at some point.

On deck I'm shooting The Gym Class Heroes on Monday and then on the 7th "I can't fucking wait to see Celtic Frost"

I've been a huge fan for ages. The last time I saw the band was 1985 with Voi Vod. I remember vividly picking up Morbid Tales, getting it home unwrapping the vinyl and from the moment the needle hit the record being completely blown away.

The artwork was amazing, photos were cool, lyrics cryptic. I pounded that album in my skull, played it non-stop everywhere. I made copies on cassette for all my buds, most of them didn't get it. Fuck em, I left them to there Led Zeppelin and proceeded to master my Tom Warrior *death grunt*

The band fell off a little in the late 80's early 90's, started dressing like Cinderella and using cans of Aquanet (there forgiven for that) the newest album is a return to form...

Nov 8th is my B-Day, I'll probably be sleeping most of the day away recovering from the Celtic Frost gig...

peace
Scott

I put up a few shots that I really dig from my Del shoot, you can find them in my 1st Music portfolio.

I'm not sure which Del photos will be published in the story, I usually don't find out until I see it in print, then I bitch about the shot they've used lol...

I'm debating on shooting AFI tonight, might skip it and go to this Halloween party I've been invited to instead we'll see, actually I'm supposed to shoot Black Label Society on Sunday, not sure I'm in the mood for that either...

peace
Scott
